SilentSam Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I hope to see him get at least 10 more games with the Big Club, every game is better than the last. I’m happy about this signing, always felt his game would be better at this level,. and I hope it keeps progressing that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its crazy that hes 6 2" and only weighs 175lbs Definitely needs to hit the weight room this off season. I've seen good qualities this call up as well as his earlier call up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing spectacular, just reliable and calm. Always a need for one of those guys on the blueline. Like a young Chris Tanev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it's a worst case scenario as I said. Allvin is surely going to add to the D-corps Don't you like the NO Myers and NO OEL part? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that he's one of those guys who can't gain weight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're only freeing up $3m cap for a replacement. For a budget team he's a pretty good deal after the bonus is paid. $6m cap hit to stay above the floor and only $1m owed in salary for the season. I don't think it would take much to move his contract after the bonus is paid. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His side probably figured that out too and would expect that they will have the teams needing help to reach the floor on his no trade list. There are ways to by-pass the NTC like putting him on waivers and having a deal in place where the team on his NTC agrees to pick him up but that's not going to be popular with agents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Myers is going to be playing for a contract. We'll be seeing a lot more effort, which generally happens on a contract year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With him under contract, he can be added to a deal with a team that needs him. Until then, he gets time to prove himself but I doubt we're looking at a long-term Vancouver (i.e. NHL) Canuck.

We need positional sound players to be able to protect and retrieve the puck in our zone. I think Tocc likes the stronger types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, and at his age he should be filling out.. perhaos a trip to the Dr to see if something isnt functioning right.. it’s just as easy to have metabolism problems that keep you light, as those that keep you heavy.. If I was him , given the physical nature and anaerobic nature of the sport , I’d talk to the Dr about all options / and ideas. It’s his livelihood now,. And his health is everything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
